police conflict massacre history legal drama

Plot summary

The film delves into an almost forgotten event that took place in Kfar Qasim in October 1956, when 47 innocent civilians were shot and killed by Israeli Border Police soldiers. Through a gripping narrative structure, like a suspenseful legal drama, the film unfolds the historical, political, and psychological reality that shaped and triggered the event. A cinematic montage created by the intertwined plotlines, emphasizes immense gaps, conflicting narratives, and deep divides between Jews and Arabs who are destined to live together on the same land. If we begin to recognize these gaps, will there be hope for reconciliation?

A very powerful film.

The film is an eye-opening experience, and I wish more people would watch it. I thought that I have already heard the full story, but there were a lot parts that I was actually unfamiliar with. Hearing witnesses' testimonies and having the actors pronounce the words that were recorded in court fills you with very strong emotions, the weight of the words becomes much more apparent.It is also good in terms of filming and editing, no interview feels too long or too short and the use of archive footage is very fitting.Overall, a very good movie to watch if you want to know more about the tragedy.
